As this happens, the molecules within the mixture collide faster and faster, until they at last break apart and re-form into different molecules, releasing the energy stored in their chemical bonds. Energy stored in the air springs from a previous cycle compresses the mixture until a flameless reaction occurs. That’s the theory.
